If you're mounting a gun on a ground vehicle, aircraft, or watercraft/boat, you want to go gyro-stabilized, regardless of whether it's full-auto or semi-auto. However, a company called Paradigm SRP introduced a marksman/sniper-specific gyroscopic weapons mount called the Talon Gyro-Stabilized Marksman Platform/Universal Weapons Mount (GSMP/UWM), which will allow a marksman or sniper to engage the enemy with precise shots on the move, even at high speed. DefenseReview got to see the Talon GSMP up close and personal at the Legion Firearms booth at SHOT Show 2013, and the system looked impressive.

The user/marksman can obviously take the shot using the hand controller and utilize its picture-in-picture aspect to switch back and forth between scope view and wide-angle view, and track and engage targets at up to 60 degrees per second. Defense Review is particularly intrigued by the adjusted-range aspect that enables angular shooting while moving.

I’m thinking that this tech married with the new targeting hardware I have seen where the hunter marks a target ,pulls the trigger and when the software sees the potability of a hit fires the rifle. Marry these two technologies and OMG
